hey

mine was 250 out the door with the dual case. it was an early upgrade.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gr8gorilla:
I got mine for 209.00 with corporate discount online. Not sure where the weird price came from. Got it through student discount, by using college email address. We also get 20% off service and 25% off accessories.

I can buy accessories in store, and still get the discount. I guess this is normal.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkybside:
And corporate comes with 50% discount on all accessories...least mine did.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lipmonger:
No direct link since my VZW account is recognized as an employee account. VZW recognizes users by either their employer's intranet, or by registering your account in a VZW store and showing proof of employment (with a corporate client).

Since I bought my Tbolt in-store, and was switching from AT&T, I had to bring my company work ID with me to prove employment. The corporate discounts only show up for me when I shop online (after logging in).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skillzo1:
I just checked out 2 more places that i know about. No place seems to want to give me the $250 pricing on a 1 yr contract. They say that my employer discount is only good on accessories and monthly bill. I'm suprised at that...cause my employer i would say it one of the bigger companies on the east coast, nj and ny may know them ( PSEG= 10,000 employees ). Can any Verizon employee people in here help me?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planepilot:
The first store I went to told me $250 but the second one told me that I would get it for 199 with the corp discount. I was glad I didn't buy from the first store. Maybe you can request getting the discount?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ERIFNOMI:
I don't know if it helps because I used an annual upgrade but I got it for the $250 2 year contract price plus $20 for the annual upgrade then of course tax. So about $280.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlanPototsky:
I got mine direct from Verizon customer service on the telephone. $149.99 after a little resistance from the first operator I asked for a supervisor. She asked me to e-mail her a copy of the ad that is on every web site with the advertised price and 10 minutes later the deal was done. My line was not eligible for the new very two but one of my other 4 lines was. If you don't ask you won't get!

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skillzo1:
just made another attempt....even had her ask a supervisor to check my corporate discount. They said they don't see how people are getting one year for 250 or cheaper. I explained people where getting it through there corporate discount..and since i am not an existing cust anymore i can't log into my verizon.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Back in September I read the original thread in our forums related to this missing feature: here

I've searched high and low in the contacts application and still cannot find this feature. Did I just completely overlook it or is it still missing in TouchWiz for EC05? :confused::confused:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattallica76:
The option is still missing from TouchWiz. I use the app "Group to Voicemail" to accomplish this. Another option, if you have Launcher Pro, you can (from the home screen) hit menu/add/Shortcuts/Activities/Call settings/Auto reject list. This will put a shortcut on your home screen to this hidden setting. From within the Auto Reject List, you can add numbers from your contacts, call logs, or manually type them in. Remember to remove any symbols or hyphens from the phone numbers you add or it won't work.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Thanks for the response. Yea, I read up on that application before I made this post. I'm just not sure how I feel about paying $2 for the app when it's an Android native feature being disabled by Samsung. :( (Though, I know the app has way more features than simply send to voicemail that would warrant the fee.)

I may just try out "Mr. Number Call Block" for a bit.

[Epic 4G General] spf2722:
Today I plugged my epic into the car jack to listen to music on my way home. When I unplugged everything seemed fine, but the first call I got had no sound. I called my wifes phone to test and same thing, and she couldn't hear me either. I also noticed I lost all screen tap sounds, but my ringtones still made noise. So I tried to reflash the ROM I was on and it didn't help. So I odin'd to DI18, and it didn't work. So I went to sprint, bone stock and let them try to fix it, only to watch them fail as well. So I walked out of Sprint wth a new Epic on order, ad noticed that the sound screen taps would work and then just stop again. I got home and looked in the 3.5 mm hole and found smashed down lint was stuck inside. I used a small needle to remove the lint and what do you know, I am an idiot. Hope this helps someone out there.

I was suprised sprint didnt catch it while I was there. The assumed it was a software issue related to bad EC05 update. Whatever, I got a couple of dings on this one, i'll take a clean for free.
[Epic 4G General] rocket321:
Luckily the epic hardware is a lot less flaky than the pre. The first replacement pre developed a crack in the side panel after about 3 days of light use. Make sure to give your replacement a good look over before you leave the store, if you catch any problems there you will likely be able to get a new in box phone.

From the picture, looks the the right angle connector would be down, so this would be better when you hold your phone while charging.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812200803

How True....
[Thunderbolt Accessories] rednoved:
The left angle should be down. Right angle up.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] tommyxv:
Yeah, what i said. LOL I guess it's the same. The cord will come from the bottom up to the right angle and into the phone. Better that the stock cable going str8 in, which is a pain to hold the phone while it's charging.

:D
[Thunderbolt Accessories] rednoved:
Ah, I see what you did there.

You are speaking of the direction coming to microUSB port, not leaving.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] tommyxv:
Damn... they are now SOLD OUT!! that was fast.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] wrb123:
"right angle" refers to a 90-degree angle, and is not direction- or orientation-specifc
[Thunderbolt Accessories] tommyxv:
Amazon has it in a 6ft length for just $4.99.

http://www.amazon.com/6FT-Left-Angle-Micro-Cable/dp/B003YKX6WW
[Thunderbolt Accessories] tommyxv:
Right, but you can get it iboth ways. They sell "left angle" ones and I believe this is the one that has the correct orientation on the micro USB plug so the cable doesn't go up towards the top of the phone but instead down. Kind of like if the connecter plugged in to the bottom of the phone.

...except when using the term as a product name given by StarTech, like we are talking about. The right angled cable goes one direction and the left angled goes another. Completely orientation specific. :D

Left Angle

Right Angle

But yes, they are both right angles.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] tommyxv:
... and I believe we need the left angle one so the cable goes down.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] tommyxv:
Tiger has 3ft and 6ft lengths for $3 and $4 with $2 econo shippping. So for $9 bucks shipped you can get one of each.... not a bad deal.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] wrb123:
be careful which you order. i see the point about left and right angles, but this could easily be interpreted differently based on orientation. id recommend waiting until there are photos available on the tigerdirect site
[Thunderbolt Accessories] rednoved:
If you get the StarTech brand, just match up the product numbers. If you want the cable towards the bottom of the phone, get the Left Angle cables.

1' Product Number: UUSBHAUB1LA

3' Product Number: UUSBHAUB3LA

6' Product Number: UUSBHAUB6LA

I have both the 1' and 3' cables from them, both of which go towards the bottom of the phone. Here is a picture of it plugged in.

If you want the cables to go the other direction, get the Right Angle version. The product numbers are the same, except the L gets replaced with an R.

[Captivate General] faroid:
My Captivate fell off into the toilet for 2 seconds :) It was playing music and continued doing so after I took it out. I immediately took the battery out and dried it. I waited for the next day to try it again, just to make sure it dried completely. It seemed to work fine for a while, then I noticed I wasn't able to make calls all the time and it took the sim card some time to get recognized. (Sim card works fine on another phone)

The battery is dying faster, but that's not a big deal, I can replace it. Also I've noticed I can't boot the phone anymore without a battery.. I thought this was possible before. right?

Not sure what to do now. I'm using another backup phone for calls, and the captivate for everything else.
[Captivate General] wallrat:
How did you dry it? Did you drop it in rice? I hear that's the best way.
[Captivate General] darkpower05:
You need to have the battery to boot the phone up...
[Captivate General] offwiththeface:
I hear that if your phone does get wet what your suppose to do is put your phone in a bag of rice it is suppose to dry it out
[Captivate General] whiteguypl:
Rice it up. With battery. All moisture needs to go bye bye. Though its probably to late, you should have left it off until you were 100% sure it was dry. Doesn't hurt to keep trying.

Edit: To anyone that hasn't done this yet. Unless you make enough money to wipe you a@s with $100 bills, don't take a p@ss with phone in your hands.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
yeah ill only take a Sh@t with my phone because i "have alot in the way".

pee hell no.. butter fingers!
[Captivate General] surfed.tk:
If there was pee in the toilet you might get corrosion issues soon... if it was just water than drying it out should be fine.
[Captivate General] faroid:
I dried it with some toilet paper, and then used some alcohol to clean it up. Luckily the toilet was clean (only water). I also used a hair dryer (which I later read was a bad idea because heat might damage it).

I didn't use rice, but I was almost pretty sure it dried the next day.

BTW, I was listening to music while taking a shower... it's just that the bathroom is small and I was carrying some other stuff. unlucky...

Now it's showing the At&t sign and a couple of signal bars but still not making calls. I'll try to flash a new ROM, just in case..
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
buy a replacement OEM battery off ebay or amazon for $20.

then send the phone back for warranty!

the water damage sticker is on the battery, dumb asses!!! (samsung not you)
[Captivate General] offwiththeface:
ONLY WATER EH LOL SURE. jj hope it works out for you try the battery thing that would be awesome if they gave you a new one under your warranty
[Captivate General] dski165:
sorry to hear it went swimming, I had phone go swimming it toilet once it didn't survive :mad:
[Captivate General] faroid:
Yes I was thinking of doing exactly the same thing. The water damage label on the battery is red already so that need to be replaced but I see another one on the phone, which is still white.

BTW, I was able to make a call now! we'll see how it goes.

Honestly, I'm impressed by the build quality. The speakers still work great and the screen is perfect.
[Captivate General] diablo009:
Actually there are two -- one on battery, and one on the phone itself beside the connectors.
[Captivate General] l3lu:
EVERY time I take my phone in there I think it is going to happen to me because my bathroom is tiny and for some reason I have a habit of carrying my phone directly over the toilet haha. Sorry to hear that though, try the rice in a bag trick. That should soak up most of the moisture
[Captivate General] PearsonDKA:
Lol I think the same thing and start to panic a bit. Almost did it too one time...
[Captivate General] Dani897:
since you let it sit over night you may have a permanant problem. :eek: next time though use the rice trick, or better yet, dismantle it imediately! and dry it with a hair dryer, but watch the heat levels! the cappy has convertional phillips screws and is rugged and easy to disassemble without breaking anything. one reason i love it. i appreciate the design.
[Captivate General] tkjeeper:
We've used the rice method a couple times,(teenagers) with perfect results. Too late now I think tho. We've done rice AND some desicant packs, make sure you throw out the rice!! Make sure the unit and battery is completely submerged in the rice, cover and leave it for a couple days. Good luck.
[Captivate General] dingokevin:
Rice works all the time saved 1 ipod put in to a washing machine. 1 iphone dropped in toilet thanks the wife. When you do the rice put it in a bag the longer you leave it in the better.
[Captivate General] scotthoff:
try drying with rice or silica pellets. its a good way to remove moisture.
[Captivate General] l3lu:
Haha. I think it's about time we invest in a few pounds of rice . . . just in case
[Captivate General] drewmiranda:
I dropped my phone in a dogs water bowl for about two seconds. I quickly pulled it out and removed the battery. the inside of the phone was completely dry. I let the phone air dry for about an hour and booted it back up. the phone works as it did before it got wet, although the speakers were a little crackley for the first day or so. that was about a month ago. phone has been working great.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate General] ddangerdess:
Shoulda used rice or silica packets.
[Captivate General] canadaboy37:
Rice and silica packets are both great ideas, and the system usually needs about 48 hours in these to make sure all moisture is gone.

Pulling the battery right away was a good move. In most electronics, there are fuses made to blow in the event of a voltage spike to protect more vital components, but pulling the battery keeps this from happening.

You're not likely to damage the phone with a hair dryer, but you're also not likely to completely dry it out, either.

In any case of water exposure, time is critical. But if it were soda, orange juice, or some other liquid other than water, that phone would have to be opened and cleaned out.

And I do believe there are three moisture sensors. One on the battery, one on the side of the battery compartment, and one somewhere on the motherboard internally where you can't get to it easily.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GPhoenix:
Hello All,

I believe my phone is either semi-bricked or completely bricked. I was in the process of wiping my system to load a custom ROM when I accidentally pressed the trackball and selected 'Reboot Recovery' in Recovery mode:

1. Wipe Data/Factory Rest

2. Format Cache

3. Format Boot

4. Format System

5. Format Cache

6. Format Data

7. Format Recovery

8. Wipe Dalvik

9. Reboot Recovery [WHOOPS!!!!!!]

Now my system is stuck when it boots up normally on the HTC screen. Attempting to go to Recovery by holding down the DOWN VOLUME provides me the menu:

- Vol Up - FastBoot Mode

- Back - Simlock

- Home - Recovery

With the following information displayed:

HERC XC SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-1.47.0000 (HERO200000)

MICROP-0110

TOUCHE PANEL-SYN0104

RADIO-2.42.02.10.29

Mar 1 2010, 16:02:39

HBOOT

Selecting Recovery sends me to the HTC screen with the FastBoot USB text displayed and it just sits there. I am not able to recognize the device via the ADB console nor HTC Sync.

Any ideas how to get thru this? The recovery.img is on the SDCard and all, I just can't get the phone access and load it into the system memory?

Thanks in advance,

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidevan:
are you using CW or Amon?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidevan:
well regardless what recovery youre usinghaha, you need to plug your phone in your pc (charge only) and boot into recovery and mount your sd card in recovery, i forgot what thats under, but find and and click it and should pop up on your pc with your open files option, put the rom of your choice on the sd card, unmount the sd card through recovery, reboot back to recovery, wipe again and install the rom, and that should do it.

pm me if you need more =]
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GPhoenix:
Unfortunately that is the problem, I cannot get into the Recovery to see all the standard menu options to even select and mount the SD Card.

I am stuck at the menu showing only these 3 options:

> Vol Up - FastBoot Mode

> Back - Simlock

> Home - Recovery

Selecting Recovery locks up displaying FastBoot USB. :(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kumetto:
Go in to Fastboot USB mode & Re-Flash recovery using ADB. Then reboot recovery & you should get back in.

Or search for a HERCIMG.zip that has the recovery you want. Save to SD root & go in to HBOOT it should see the HERCIMG & ask you to apply the update.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aqualls:
Power off phone. Hold home then hold power on. Should take you to recovery.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidevan:
thats helpful for me too, as well guys. thanks seniors =]

and hope you can get it Pheonix
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Yeah what he said, only since your bootloader is s-on you can't use fastboot or hercimg.zip. You need to flash a recovery from adb. For future reference the part you messed up was when you formatted boot/system/recovery - those are unnecessary when flashing a new ROM. The reason your phone is mad is you took EVERYTHING away from it and didn't replace it with something, so in a way, yes reboot recovery is where you messed up. But it would've been the same if you rebooted the phone too, cuz well, you don't have a phone, you wiped it. It's an easy fix, and once you get a new recovery you can resume whatever, flashing a rom, restoring a nand, etc.

EDIT: just saw you can't get adb.... try this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=958968
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidevan:
off topic, but when and why would you format anything (boot, data system, cache)

besides using Firerats
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Well, because phone cleanliness is important. FYI "wipe" and "format" are the same thing. Depending on what you're doing, you may want to wipe certain things individually. Cache and Dalvik Cache should be wiped every you flash a new version/release of your current ROM or a new kernel. Sometimes wiping those two can help if you're having weird issues. Data should be wiped if you're trying a new/different ROM. System and boot get wiped by a ROM flash automatically. It really depends on what you're doing, but wiping/formatting is needed.
